1 CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS Linking Land Use & Transportation in Minneapolis Presentation to All Transportation is Local Council President Lisa Bender March 22,

2 Overview Minneapolis and the Twin Cities region are both growing population and jobs are increasing Minneapolis has increasingly adopted supportive land use and transportation policies to support transit use, walking and bicycling We have a long way to go: 9/10 trips are taken by car, our transit agency has an operating budget gap and we lack sustainable funding for capital improvements Our draft comprehensive plan (to be released next week) takes this to a new level of commitment On the horizon: bus improvements, land use changes, big focus on racial equity 2

3 Our region Minneapolis is in a seven-county Metropolitan region governed by the Metropolitan Council The region has 3,041,526 residents and 1,701,712 jobs (2016 estimate) Minneapolis has 419,952 residents and 320,917 jobs (2016 estimate) 3

4 Metro Transit serves the 7-County Region 4

5 Transit funding is a challenge Capital funding sources Legislature Sales tax (collected by Counties)-55.1% Operating funding sources Fares 25% (metro mobility, train, bus) Local Funding Partners/other-2.3% Counties Transit Improvement Board-8% Legislature-State General Fund-8.4% Federal Grants/CMAQ-1.2% Minneapolis advocates for local transit service improvements as part of regional projects 35W transit access project, Light Rail Transit lines 5

6 Current transit service in Minneapolis Source: Metro Transit 6

7 Minneapolis is Growing 7

8 Housing Costs are Rising Average rent in Minneapolis is $1,118 Average rent increased in the Downtown, Southwest and East sectors of the city over the previous quarters Rents have increased for all unit types 8

9 9

10 Transportation Choices Today 9/10 trips are made by car Even with the adoption of electric cars, a 37 percent reduction in automobile trips is needed to achieve the 80 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by Transit dependency: according to comprehensive plan, 18% of households do not have access to a car Lots of opportunity to shift trips to transit 10

11 11

12 Adopted policies: transportation + land use Access Minneapolis (2009 / being updated) Complete Streets Policy (2016) Missing middle housing: ADUs (2014) and duplexes (2017) Parking reform (2015) Comprehensive Plan Update (2018) New zoning code update ( ) 12

13 Complete Streets & Infrastructure Investment Complete Streets policy adopted in 2016 Funding for local streets $400 million investment over 20 years = additional $20 million per year above $12 million annual repair budget Follows Complete Streets policy directives Project selection criteria explicitly centers race equity defines transportation access broadly, not just as traffic volumes Protected bikeways plan Adopted in 2014, 30 miles of protected bikeways funded by 2020 Enhanced bus lines: Orange Line, C Line, D Line ($35 mil funding gap) 13

14 Reducing regulatory barriers: Legalized ADUs (only for owner-occupied homes) Legalized duplexes in duplex zoning by reducing required lot area Previously a duplex required 2x the lot area as a single family home in duplex (R2) zoning 14

15 Accessory Dwelling Units Source: City of Minneapolis 15

16 Reducing Regulatory Barriers: Parking Reform Prior to 2015, all residential units required one parking space No market-rate projects under 60 units had been built in 10+ years Parking reduction focused near high-frequency bus and light rail lines Policy argument Political strategy Source: City of Minneapolis 16

17 Parking reform 24 units / 0 required / 18 parking spaces built 71 units / 35 required / 39 parking spaces built 3 units / 0 required 17

18 Next phase: comprehensive plan update Required by Metropolitan Council every 10 years This plan developed and adopted over election cycle Two years of community engagement, 50 community meetings, thousands of people engaged Draft plan will be released today! 18

19 Comprehensive Plan Land Use 19

20 Comprehensive Plan Housing Stability Inclusionary Zoning Preservation of affordable units Tenant protections / eviction reduction Continued investment in production of affordable units $10 million annually from city 700 units funded in 2017 Need support from county or state for bigger investment 20

21 Future of transit Need to solve political puzzles and build bi-partisan support or create more local sources of funding Renewed emphasis on bus service improvements City is ready to make big moves to get dedicated transit lanes on urban arterial corridors Local support is growing / political resistance is lessening Source: Metro Transit 21
